I love the signs. What a way to differentiate between a home and a shop. Too bad the colored text on the signs isn't documented anywhere

Anyways, I just placed a Sign #1 in front of my house. Love it.... except.... Devs, do you think you may be able to tighten up the distance between the sign and the house. Don't get me wrong. I think the sign is great. I just wish it was a little closer to my home. There's not a very good indication of which home these detached signs belong to, especially in the middle of a cluster of homes. (I haven't seen the other signsyet except Sign #1, so I can't comment on the others.)

*Bump* I would like to know too

Probably the management tree, cause that grants the skill mod "Shop Sign +1" at each level.

It is Hiring 4 skill.

The Management Line grants additional signs (not type of signs). I think because i had 4 different signs to choose from with Hiring 4 and Management 3. At Managemet 4 i have 4 sign types, too. So far i set signs at 3 different shops.

Management Tree only

"The Management Line grants additional signs (not type of signs). I think because i had 4 different signs to choose from with Hiring 4 and Management 3. At Managemet 4 i have 4 sign types, too. So far i set signs at 3 different shops."

To me additional signs in this context means using more than 1 sign, and I know you cant do that. What you do get is the choice of signs that are different from one another. Personally, I would call them types. In reality though, they are all pretty close in style.

I am 1/2 block from master merchant, and I know that one skill tree I went up(I think management) I got + 1 signs.

Type # from the structure control panel.

# Generic house address

#1 Some red cone shaped one that looks lighted. I use this one.

#2 one stone/metal gray more squarish one

#3 sort of like #2 but a bit different, dont remember totally.. maybe a shade of green?

#4 close to #1 and #2 but slightly different, dont remember anyhow.

You can't use more than one sign, and the signs are slightly different.

here's a hint... you don't need to be a master merchant to have the cool signs... you just need to KNOW a merchant. Our city has one merchant who has access to all the sign types (5 I think) each person in our city added him to the admin list on their shop and he dropped the sign they liked. we then removed him from the admin list and the sign remained! Now the owner of the house is free to change the text on the sign as he wishes. The only thing is, large houses are bugged. these new signs appear BEHIND the house instead of on the porch.

Its done with the merchant profession forget which one at the moment.

I have searched the boards for messages that may address this but could not find an answer.

How do I change the sign outside my house. I have seen other houses with different style signs and was wondering if there is some type of command to change them.

thanks in advance.

It is a Merchant skill.

Ah thank you for your prompt response.

I hate dredging up old threads or repeating what others have said, but couldn't find an exact reference to this idea, so just making a post. Apologies in advance.

I guess they're not too Star Warsy, but I think neon signs (towns at night aren't all that well lit) and scrolling marques would be cool sign additions. And how about billboards? Surely there should be a city structure that allows for advertisement without taking up a lot.
